Misinformation and disinformation are not the same (in German at least?).
Misinformation is when information is wrong on purpose, to misinform someone.
Disinformation is when information is just wrong, like when someone said something by accident that wasn’t correct.
We made it way too easy for morons to get online. Folks who don’t even know what a “packet” is can livestream their anus on TikTok, and capitalism is fine with that because it’s “monetized”.
No, it is. Because now of the 30 people who believe Acne is the cause of the apocalypse, 10 of them have a special Discord, 5 have TikToks, 5 are “lurking”, and the remaining 10 are staring at walls in psych-wards after they tried to skin their teenaged kids to prevent…I don’t know.
yeah, the information age hit us before we could come up with an education age
I’m pretty sure future historians are gonna end up calling this the “Misinformation Age” instead.
i like it, because it’s kind of ironic. the term used by the us govt is “disinformation”. so calling it the “misinformation age” tracks perfectly.

In English I look at it the opposite way:
Misinformation = MIStake or accident
Disinformation = “dissing” of information, or intentionally putting it down/lying about it
apparently we’re all just victims of English doing that stupid thing it tends to do…

Well that’s clear as mud 🤣 Maybe I’ll just use “lies” instead!
I like it because it implies the good guys do EVENTUALLY win and set this shit right.
It was called “The Enlightenment,” but then we forgor….
“The Age of forgor” has a good vibe to it

Keep talking, and then everyone has to use Free DOS.
We made it too easy for morons to find each other and unite.
You mean a data packet? What should people know that?
Less packet loss equals clearer anal shots.
It’s important to have a basic understanding of how magic internet-box works.
